The new board does not populate my login field with my username like the old board. It DOES fill in my password, for which I'm grateful, but I have to enter my boardname manually. Not that five keystrokes is disabling, but I would rather just punch the return key.

Do I need to adjust a MacBook Keychain setting? I already checked, "Remember me," on the login screen, but the new board only remembers my password, not my ineffable essence.

Yeah, I never log off, either. (Mac and very old version of Safari). Even when I reboot the computer, which is only once every several weeks, I don't even have to log back in! I have PTU set as my home page.

Discovered that if I type in only the first letter of my username, it autofills the rest of the name and also the password. The old board used to magically fill in everything without my input beyond a Carriage Return.

I see I can also log in with Facebook or some other dubious social media I am skeptical of. Haven't tried. If compartmentalization of confidential information worked for Lt Rochefort and the Enigma boys in doubleya doubleya two, it works for me, pilgrim.

My username and password both fill in automatically on my iPad 2! My 2007 MacBook went crazy and is in the Apple Store for barely still under warranty repair. Maybe it's refusal to populate the fields was part of the suite of inexplicable and never before experienced failures it showed, along with iTunes not playing songs and stuttering videos.

Yes, that background is reminiscent of one of those banners that we used to have, that was super-googie with pastel-colored amoeba shapes. I think all those banner pictures are probably still stored on the board in one of the image libraries... but there doesn't appear to be a way any longer to use them as banners.

Got my avatar up today. (now called a "photo" on this board version)The specs suggest at least 200 pixels but I used 150 x 150 pixels, although the real important thing is to make it square.If you don't make it square, it will be anamorphically distorted. (squished, stretched or just funny looking)
